Customers appreciate the Beam (Gen 2)'s unmatched sound quality, ease of use, and convenient size. Many find the setup process to be super easy and enjoy the great bass and slim design. However, some customers have reported connectivity issues, while others feel the volume could be improved and that the Dolby Atmos feature may not perform as expected. A few customers also mentioned the product being pricey.

I would recommend this to a friendBricked Equipment and Horrid Customer service
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Incredible waste of money. Worked for about 4 months and now a total brick. Call customer service and be put on a 60+ min hold before you can even talk to anyone. They updated software for the app without proper testing and their customers pay the price . Do not by Sonos. I literally have $1000 of sound equipment and none of it now works.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendmeh
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sounded great in store but less so at home. If you do not have an iphone you will not be able to set up sound for your space correctly. Price was OK, but not great.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDidn’t really make a huge difference
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is ok , I mostly have Bose speakers at home and a big music lover and felt that this sound quality was just average
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSonos
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not enough bass. Probably should have purchased the sub with it for a true experience.Returned it. Bought the JBL MK2 500.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendWill never deal with Best Buy again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Review is against Best Buy, not the speaker. Horrendous customer service. I ordered this speaker open box in excellent condition, and instead received the Sonos Ray, covered in grease. I spent hours on the phone trying to get various agents to coordinate the exchange. After several failed promises, mistakes, and experiences with unprofessionalism, weeks later I am still left soundbar-less. One agent tried to provide me with a gift card as consolation for the frustration and for the waste of time, but this request had supposedly been rejected by his supervisor. If you wanted to try to speak to a staff member at a store, you are no longer able to over the phone. I’ve left one or two bad reviews in my entire life, and felt that this experience warranted going out of my way to do so. I heard great things about this product! Save your time and buy it either in person, or from someone who’s reliable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Connectivity
Sonos Beam
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have yet to hear this sound bar because I can't hook it up to my new TV, purchased at the same time. It's therefore hard to give it a rating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Alex
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned it because there was no difference to my ears then the first gen that I own
I would recommend this to a friendBeam not enough
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is just ok not great for an open room. It’s not worth the beam and the larger one is needed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGlitch in sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has a bad glitch in the sound for the first 10 minutes its turned on
I would recommend this to a friendmid
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was using my Play 5 with my tv for years. I “upgraded” to this soundbar and the quality of sound is not just inferior to my Play 5 speakers, but also my Play 1s.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMachine Gun!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I connected via HDMI via ARC to a Samsung TV. The next day the unit emitted a VERY LOUD full volume machine gun type sound. I had to shut the unit off to get it to stop! It scared everyone including my dog. I contacted Sonos and they wanted like gee we have never heard of this? So I googled the issue and it is apparently common yet Sonos' response is duh we don't know? They want you to get a video of it and don't shut it dow so that you can get a diagnostic report? I don't know how you can do this since I truly believe this LOUD noise is harmful to your hearing! Surely they know this yet they act like it is something unknown BUT IT IS NOT. It has now happened 3 times. Ready to return it to Best Buy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Sonos Customer Care
Posted .Hi, and thank you for taking the time to write a review. You're indeed correct that there were known issues with Samsung tv's specifically. However, we have released software updates to fix those problems as well as Samsung because some of the issues were on their end as well. We assume any broad issues with Samsung Tv's have been addressed. This specific issue is not something we are aware of but hope to collect as much data as possible to 1) see if it is something we can fix on our end. 2) compile it to see if it becomes a larger issue or if it's just a one-off problem. That's why we asked for a diagnostic and data collection. We're very sorry for your experience with the Sonos Arc. We know this was a inconvenience and never set out for that to be the case.
Not Connected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it was working it sounded great. Had to return it because it would disconnect from my TV every 3rd or 4th time my TV was powered up.

||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Voice and sound delay is pretty bad, tried all settings but no help.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGet the Sonos arc instead.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I contemplated buying this vs. the Sonos arc. Sound isn't bad, but for a few hundred more, I'd stick with the arc.
